I will hold you
through the dark abyss of night
endless and empty
cold, without light
I will hold you
as you make your way through
I will hold you
in confusion
in doubt
look unto me
anchor yourself in the waters
of mine eyes
as the seas toss you about and attempt to capsize
I will hold
until all the broken pieces
glued together with
glimmering gold
your heart made whole
I will hold you
in the palms of my hands
in the hole in my side
but surest of all, in my wrists
I hold you
with every breath you take
step by step
as you struggle to find light
I hold you
in that flash of light
a quick understanding
of why you must
slog your way through
I hold you
in doubt
in confusion
the wave on the water is my gentle hand
that bird that sings that
song who's note of hope
can lodge in your heart
I hold you
all your thousand pieces
scattered across the miles of the parched earth
I hold you as you are:
every broken
shredded
tired
burnt
wondering
& lost
soul
I hold you in the palms of my hands
outstretched to you
- still
- always
These hands that made this world- this universe
and all it has in it
These hands hold you
